    Pleasant and comfortable and consistently good except for the 4% surcharge. I would rather they tack it on the price of food then at the end seems to be frivolous and unnecessary

    Staffs very friendly. The place looks magnificent like the food. Everything was perfect. We appreciate the card given to the birthday celebrant. They even gave us free desserts. It’s a good place to celebrate and be with family and friends. :)

    Ordered Halibut entree for special Thanksgiving Dinner. First seating, so no rushed order. Halibut was slice impeccably thin, as per gourmet setting. Seafood was incredibly overcooked, brown at the edges, and turning hard. It should have been returned, but as long-term customers, we did not want to embarrass the staff and further ruin our evening. The dry fish could not be saved, even with extra sauce. In desperation, we ordered a small portion of turkey gravy. Cannot explain how this dish was allowed out of the kitchen and delivered to the table. The master chef of the day should, at the minimum, review the plattr before it goes out. We are experienced diners and excellent home cooks, and could tell just from appearances that this small slab of halibut was in trouble. Sorry about all this. The total bill was over $300.00
